Big-sis - Your Aggressively Wholesome Older Sister

this pride month I am wishing everyone a very stop overanalyzing yourself and just have fun with it. have gay sex. don't have any sex. try on a new gender. stop caring about gender at all. talk to your doctor about hormones. go on a date. break up with the person you dont love. whatever it is you have been putting off doing by dithering about it in your head. just do that and fully experience how it feels without trying to put it into words. if you still need a word for it later there will be one. they aren't going anywhere. but people were here before language and there's only so far language can go in giving you a fulfilling human experience. so if you are hiding behind finding the right words for whatever it is your heart wants i hope this month you get the courage to just do it instead.

I think the hardest thing about having parents who didn’t express affection is letting yourself be loved. It took me a long time to realise my friends do want to spend time with me, celebrate my birthday, hug me when I achieve something.

My best friend tells me she loves me all the time and the world doesn’t end.

It feels revolutionary to embrace these acts of love even if it’s temporary, even if the people in my life aren’t forever.
